About Precious SMG

Meet Precious SMG, a fitting name for this 10-year-young sweetheart. She’s a gentle, low-energy dog who takes her time warming up but reveals a lovely, affectionate side once she bonds with you. In her foster home, she’s comfortably joined a lively pack of three large dogs and two other Chihuahuas, and is starting to play with them—an encouraging sign of her budding confidence. Precious enjoys being by your side, whether it's curling up beside her foster mom during work or sharing the office chair. She’s crate trained and walks well, sporting a delightful little prance. While she's still mastering potty training, she will communicate her needs, especially for nighttime breaks. Precious is discovering the world of treats and is not shy about her favorites—except peanut butter, which she firmly rejects. Though she’s shy around new faces, Precious is a loyal companion ready to alert you to any unfamiliar sounds. She thrives in a loving, patient home where she can find cozy spots and enjoy treats (minus the peanut butter). Precious embodies sweetness and gentleness, making her the ideal addition to a caring family. Click apply to start the adoption process.
